square both sides......
x + 7 = (x-5)^2
=> x+ 7 = x^2 - 10x +25
=> x^2 -11x + 18 = 0
=> x^2 -9x-2x +18= 0
=> x(x-9) -2(x-9) = 0
=> (x-2)(x-9) = 0
=> x =2 , 9
so,value of x = 2, 9.

Take the square on both sides
(x+7)=(x-5)^2
x+7 = x^2-10x+25
x^2-10x-x+25-7=0
x^2-11x+18=0
x^2-9x-2x+18=0
x(x-9)-2(x-9)=0
(x-9)(x-2)=0
x=9 OR x=2
